Reading the spec, I can't see why not, wondering if anyone knew.

If you are ok with ipv6, you can get a /48, and a 4-byte ASN for a few hundred dollars for the registration fee. The 4-byte ASN isn't even necessary. You can then use AWS/Oracle/AliBaba or some other public cloud to advertise your registered ipv6 address block on your behalf. A whois will show the details you used with the registrar.

I'm pretty sure most browsers will straight up refuse to load content from bare IPv6 adresses regardless of cert status no? I remember having problems with this with an internal CA.

Not really. I ça t find an official source for this so maybe this has been fixed but from what I remember this was explicitly disabled for security.
